Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait (Tester)

Description

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum intensifies the house's most famous release, created by founder-perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and launched in 2017 as a richer, longer-lasting sibling to the 2015 Eau de Parfum. Bitter almond and saffron open with a gourmand-spiced edge, deepening into Egyptian jasmine and Virginia cedar, before settling on a mineral, ambergris-woody base of musk, ambroxan and cashmeran.

Scent Character

• Spicy: 51%
• Woody: 33%
• Floral: 16%

Translation: the same glowing amber-saffron DNA as the original EDP, turned up, warmer, denser, and noticeably longer-lasting.

Performance

The Extrait pushes Baccarat Rouge 540's already legendary performance even further: expect 10–14+ hours of wear with heavy, room-filling sillage in the opening hours, settling into a dense, radiant skin scent that lingers well into the next day on fabric.

Best Occasions & Season

Best suited to fall/winter and evening occasions given its intensity. A little goes a long way, so it rewards restraint even at events where a memorable scent is welcome.
